Reflections from National Health Center Week

This year, we celebrated National Health Center Week, Aug. 3-9! We honor the vital role Community Health Centers play in building healthier communities across Oregon and beyond.

The annual event highlights the essential role Community Health Centers (CHCs) play in improving public health and providing Americans with access to critical healthcare services. CHCs represent the nation’s largest primary care network, serving nearly 34 million patients nationwide.

This year’s NHCW celebration, launched by the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), focuses on the theme: “America’s Health Centers Celebrating 60 Years of Improving our Nation’s Health.” CHCs across the country joined the celebration through a host of events that include resource fairs, back-to-school drives, health screenings, and visits to CHCs by local, state, and national leaders.

Below, check out Cascadia’s infographics that highlight each themed day of the week.
